It was already easier in both Cold steel since the cutoff date was always easy to figure out compared to TitS and with it being absent in 3rd makes sense considering how the game appear to plays out, I'm glad Falcom decided to just drop it for a game rather than shove it down our throats.

Depends. Unexpectedly getting kicked in the crotch is what's Trails to me. The 3rd made me feel stuff.

Only the Sky trilogy has been cursed right? Cold Steel seemed like they went smooth.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I was thinking that instead of a punny or witty OT title, we should just call it
|OT| XSeed's Localization Miracle
or
|OT| XSeed's Labor of Love
Just to show appreciation for what they've done to bring it over to the west.
Thoughts?

I'll take Localization Miracle.
Sad that my witty OT suggestions wouldn't be used ;_;
Call a priest named Kevin for that. Gotta clean the whole office.
Aidios' Localization Miracle
I love playing Ys games on Nightmare and beyond, but I've never tried harder modes in the Trails games.
Some bosses were hard enough on normal.
I dunno, I feel like in general I like turning up the difficulty in action games while usually not bothering in turn-based ones.
Seems a little... overbearing gushing fanboy to me. You want to thank the good people at Xseed for their work? Buy and enjoy the game Day 1. Talk it up on social media.
Despite the numerous samples we provided pages ago when the topic last came up, someone over at Xseed already gave us the perfect subject title right there on the game's Steam page:

Hasn't Olivier already been used in the title for like three of the games? I'd be for something different.

Olivier's love is boundless, as is his suitability for OT titles.

Much as I like the Olivier jokes, he's not as much a factor in this game, so it'd be a bit misleading to use a variation on More Olivier for the OT. FC on PC didn't even get an OT tagline! Just choose something that's fun and fits the game, since anyone dipping into the OT for a glance will infer how far into the series this story is.

Well , no.
You can't start with this one.
Everyone needs to buy it , but you can't start at the 3rd
Well isn't that a good title

Then go play it
(Or play 1, if you haven't already. I think there's some soundrack overlap between the two?)
I'm looking forward to a Cold Steel 2 replay at some point after 3rd to see the extra NG+ quest line but it's only just dawned on me that by the time I can fit it in I can play the PC version. Now I can't decide whether to push on for the platinum trophy or use someone elses save to do the NG+ on the superior PC version. What a glorious dilemma to have.
Obviously I'll be buying the PC versions day one whatever I decide to do, these games own my soul.

Haha, nah. I'm still working on SC (slowly). The plan is to get into the Cold Steels when the PC versions are released (even though I already have them both on PS3).

Huh, so got to the part after I got
in SC. Didn't expect shit to get real so quickly immediately after though, jesus.
Also, fffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuck being forced
. Literally the worst party member IMO. The only thing he's good at is Tanking. Which is worse than useless this late in the game when everyone, even Tita, has enough HP to tank everything.
I'm cringing thinking about how much DPS I'm losing by being forced to have him in the party. My entire strategy the entire game has been to just DPS-nuke everything, especially once I got Art-Strength boosting equipment to stack on Kloe and Olivier

Gaaah,
if only he didn't leave the party.

I'm the opposite. I love upping the difficulty in RPGs but I'm not that great in action games. SC's hard mode doesn't even feel hard; it's tedious. Like FC's hard mode worked because the base game was really easy, but SC's normal mode much more challenging, and hard mode just wrecks the balance of certain enemies.
Not really. I remember huge glitches right before it was supposed to be released, it was delayed by an entire season and it almost didn't make 2015. The first one, that is.

Either I'm crazy, or SC is much easier than FC.
I couldn't DPS Nuke everything in FC. I can in SC.

I agree. These guys are heroes to me, I'll be eternally grateful for the effort they put into this franchise.
The OT should give them the credit they deserve.
Imo SC early game is harder but most of the rest is easier

Well gee, I didn't know expressing gratitude for a company undergoing a very-possibly-unprofitable, high effort, workload-intensive effort to translate a game we thought we'd never get and are getting ten years after the fact was being an overbearing gushing fanboy. Jesus.

So, who wants to bet on 3rd getting a PS4/Vita version down the line in the same way Ys Origin did?
Y'know, Sony going to Falcom directly for the license, handing it over to DotEmu, and then porting the Steam version whilst proclaiming all of XSEED's enhancements as "New for and exclusive to the PS4™/Vita™ version!" whilst XSEED doesn't get any input on or see a single cent of said PS4/Vita versions.

I too cheer on the thought of XSEED taking on all the risk whilst another party reaps the rewards and pretends they took the risks.
/s
No one is pretending anything. Ys Origin sold a shit ton on Steam and most likely a fraction of that on PS4. XSEED doesn't do charity, they're making a product for sale. If another company manages to sell that product on another platform, XSEED could either do the port themselves or complain with Falcom for making a sensible business decision.
Well, normally it isn't. Anyway, you asked for thoughts on the idea and I gave mine. You're free to disagree, of course.
EDIT: the 3rd's website is now live

Honestly, i just want to play the game on VITA. Bring it to PS4/Vita, more audience, more likely to have more episodes translated in the West.
